Bridging Program in Australia

Hi. I am new here. I don't know exactly where to go. I am a registered nurse here in the Philippines and I am interested in studying in Australia for a bridging course that will help me become a registered nurse there. I need some help on looking for a good school that offers a bridging course.

My aunt told me that a friend of her friend just went to AU to take up a test and in 6 months she's there for a bridging program. and I have this friend who has a friend who became a registered nurse in AU in 6 months time too. This agency is offering me to study for a certificate III aged care with occupational English test for 46 weeks in Einstein College but it costs too much. So now, I am trying to look for a school wherein I can apply by myself and hopefully get in. I am hoping I could leave for AU this June 2011. I am a bit lost on what to do. Can you help me, please? Any suggestions? ? Please help me. Thank you very much. :clown:

(Sydney area would be better since my parents are more familiar and in favor of that place... though other cities/areas will be great too)

My agent told me i will have my interview next week. I'll share the questions when i'm done. by the way, when are you starting the bp? or are they going to decide which intake you'll have?

I got offer from ACFE but I am not confident with their re-accreditation, then I let it go. I supposed to be in August intake. Now I am waiting for AAON to accept me, but I am not sure when they are going to do. There are some schools that on the list of "inactive program" at the moment. IHNA is one of them. I got interview with ACFE which was quite tough. Thanks for your sharing.

I'm new here. I am so confused, please enlighten me. I already have the necessary requirements for my AHPRA (or at least I believe I do). IELTS=L=9 R=8.5 W=8.0 S=8.0 OBS=8.5. I also have a copy of the following:

1. birth certificate with Local civil registry copy

2. PRC License (actually I have a certificate of good standing that says that my license is being renewed, it will expire in December but I have already applied for renewal last February, it's still unavailable)

3. Passport

4.Board Cert with Board Rating

5. Certificate of good standing

6. AN incomplete CV (i'm so confused as to what I need to put here)

7. NBI Clearance

8. Diploma and OTR

9. Summary of RLE

10. Course description (already requested and I think I'm about to receive it)

11. Certificates of employment

Here's my concern, I really don't know what to do with them! I decided to contact a Consultancy to process my application. (I haven't paid yet) But the service they offer for 90 thousand pesos is only until I get an eligibility letter. I thought that they would help me apply for a loan, for tuition and all, but I was mistaken. It appears that they would only provide such service with an extra charge, alongside the application to a BP school. Now, I'm planning to apply on my own. But I'm too scared to do it. I might make a mistake. Oh, good grief! I need your guidance. Thanks. :)

hello there. im new here. please help me cause im really confused and 'lost.' i just received my LOE yesterday.. what should i do next? find a school? can u guys suggest some schools. thanks all =)

How long did it take for you to receive your LOE? In which state did you send your requirements? Thanks

Hi there nursemajee! ur Ielts scores captured my attention.... ur such a monster especially with the writing... hehe. may I ask what kind of prepratons did you do? how extensive were they? well, unless ur innately that good. Iv taken my ielts 5x and havnt achieved at least 7 in writing, sometimes reading too. basically Im still working too, maybe that's why cant totally do quality practice. Would greatly appreciate some advice from you.

By the way I studied the contents from the AHPRA website which have proven to be quite useful. Hahaha. I think I can do this. Sendembong, my scores actually got lower from the last time I took the IELTS. Got three 9s. But then my results expired. Preparations? Well, I'll tell you something, I actually teach for the IELTS and my scores now are quite embarrassing given my extensive experience. I always tell my students to keep a journal. (You know, so that they could get used to writing in English). Another tip, READ. Read a lot, read when you have the chance to. XD

Hello fellow nurses, my application dilemma is over. :) I did my homework and read oodles and oodles of information about applying. Now I have another dilemma: 12000 Australian dollars is quite a fortune. Does anyone here know about an institution that provides financing for tuition? Another question: How much would it cost me to live in Australia for 3 months? Thanks.

If you have 2 years of exp you can go to philman they can help you on your application and they can be your backup at AG for financing
